Healthcare Foundation of Wilson Strategic Grant Process

Eligibility Requirements

Organizations applying for funding must be tax-exempt 501(c)(3) nonprofits, government institutions or schools in the greater Wilson community, whose funds will be directed toward the enhancement of the healthcare outcomes of the Wilson community.

Funding Priorities

The foundation prioritizes:

• Innovative ideas that support the development or expansion of one or more of our four focus areas.
• Programs focused on youth through age 29.
• Eligible organizations who implement or have a desire to start evidence-based program models identified as having significant outcomes in one or more of the four focus areas.

Grant Making Considerations

The organization must exhibit:

• Financial Viability – The organization is financially stable, possessing a greater likelihood of long-term sustainability.
• Sustainability – The specific program requesting funds from HFW can maintain sustainable operation beyond the scope of funding. If a project will expand service capacity, then the organization should have a clear business plan for funding ongoing operations.
• Collaboration/Partnership – The organization is collaborating or has attempted to collaborate with local and other statewide services/agencies to strengthen the program and avoid duplication within the community.
• Outcome Measurements – The organization currently tracks outputs and outcome goals of this program and/or others to evaluate success of program implementation.
